Armed with a memorandum, Costa and other farmers had all come to make an emotional plea to the Union Minister to protect the Khazans and farmers of Loutolim from the new high-level Borim bridge across river Zuari. While leaving the venue, the 96-yearold farmer pleaded with the government not to destroy the khazans by constructing the Borim bridge through the fields.
The farmers led by Chairman of the Carbot, Mascasana & Bebdo Tenants Association, Albert Pinheiro welcomed the government's initiative to save khazans, saying it will certainly spur a revival of agriculture not just in Loutulim, but the entire Goa. They, however, made an impassioned prayer to the Union Minister to save the farming communities of Loutulim and Goa and preserve the unique agricultural heritage, the village khazans, for posterity.
